I normally work feverishly on a morning post, but yesterday wasn’t the day to do that. My family stayed away for an extra day, and I’ve been busy multitasking. It’s a good thing for them to stay as they’ve had a great time and enjoying what is now the chunk of change to drive to Hilton Head and back. I seem to be getting more and more productive, and these couple weeks have been both cathartic and a tiny bit transforming.
It is very strange that I am minimally following the WSOP when I spent every waking hour there last summer. Railing a tournament online is very difficult until an event gets to the Final Table, although I tried to follow Liz Lieu over the weekend (she finished 28th in a $2.5k NLHE event). I still receive press releases from the WSOP, and I can check the spreadsheets of finishers or Day 1 chipcounts. This morning I saw that the Ladies Event winner was Svetlana Gromenkova, arguably the best Ladies Event winner the WSOP has had in a very long time. I tried to interview her last summer (she is a big online player on Stars), and her one word responses made it fairly tough to write up.
Another strange thing I’ve been dealing with involves soccer. I’m sort of spearheading the creation of a new soccer club, leaving the church league we’ve been a part of for the eight years we’ve lived here. I’m pitching the concept to parents and coaches, and I’m finding that I really like pushing from the idea into the creation. I also really like the selling of the idea, and I seem to be very good at it. This soccer experience seems to be a blueprint for starting other things. I don’t mean the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, but more the core of what I’m experiencing and feeling. I haven’t been convicted and believed in something for a very long time, haven’t been a zealot for some endeavor outside of myself. I’m certainly not like that about my own business. Maybe this is another example of the need to tweak or blow up what I’m doing.
Nothing much here, sorry for that. Back to work.
